text: Remote or US<p>Graphistry | Mid&#x2F;Senior Django&#x2F;Python | Freelance with option for FTE | HQ: Bay Area | <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.graphistry.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.graphistry.com</a> + <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;graphistry" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;graphistry</a><p>Graphistry helps analysts investigate the relationships in their data. We started with advanced security&#x2F;fraud&#x2F;crime analysts trying to make sense of their logs, and are pushing into self-serve for all analysts and additional domains. We helped kick off the movement to GPU data frames (Apache Arrow, Nvidia RAPIDS.ai) as a rising tide towards our goal of advancing visual analysis for non-developers. We want analysts to benefit from advances like GPU-accelerated visual analytics, graph computing, &amp; workflow automation with the same level of ease they have today with tools like Excel and search.<p>The immediate opening is a Django contractor to help launch our SaaS tier: Stripe, teams, SSO, RBAC, etc. Optionally, we are interested in a continued working relationship, such as continued contracting or transitioning to full-time. Contractors can be global as long as they can work with us in PDT. FTE path will likely need to be US and will start via a contract. This is an exciting time for the company, so we&#x27;re looking forward to discussing possibilities with you!<p>Immediate initial project + contact info: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;document&#x2F;d&#x2F;1lIc0Pxp3vpq6lU_0PHlR3z9L58u-trIxYjPsFtmAMUg&#x2F;edit#heading=h.wlx0mnphuuit" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.google.com&#x2F;document&#x2F;d&#x2F;1lIc0Pxp3vpq6lU_0PHlR3z9L...</a>

text: Cyprus | REMOTE<p>We are looking for a PostgreSQL expert to help us optimise our database operations, in particular our database performance, and maintenance and backup strategies.<p>Stack<p>- Django
- Postgres<p>We currently deploy our applications to on-premise servers fully managed by us. As is often the case, our application is a prototype-turned-production-ready as we grew and established ourselves in the market over the last 5 years.<p>Listening to customer feedback we&#x27;ve been adding and removing features and we are long overdue in reflecting on our code quality and in particular, how we treat our database.<p>Our most pressing need is to optimise our database (tables, indexes, queries) in order to increase application performance (faster queries) and reduce system requirements (we sometimes see 100% CPU utilisation when performing certain queries). We know where the issues are, but we don&#x27;t have the time (or skills) to fix them well.<p>If you have Postgres experience in critical business environments and have resolved these kind of issues in the past, feel free to contact me via email (my username at gmail.com)<p>Thanks
